Two-Asset Portfolio Stock A has an expected return of 12% and a standard deviation of 40%. Stock B has an expected return of 18% and a standard deviation of 60%. The correlation coefficient between Stocks A and B is 0.2. What are the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio invested 30% in Stock A and 70% in Stock B?
An analyst has modeled the stock of a company using the Fama-French three-factor model. The market return is 10%, the return on the SMB portfolio (rSMB) is 3.2%, and the return on the HML portfolio (rHML) is 4.8%. If ai = 0, bi = 1.2, ci = 20.4, and di = 1.3, what is the stock’s predicted return?
APT An analyst has modeled the stock of Crisp Trucking using a two-factor APT model. The risk-free rate is 6%, the expected return on the first factor (r1) is 12%, and the expected return on the second factor (r2) is 8%. If bi1 = 0.7 and bi2 = 0.9, what is Crisp’s required return?

A person is interested in constructing a portfolio. Two stocks are being considered. Letx = percent return for an investment in stock 1, and y = percent return for an investment instock 2. The expected return and variance for stock 1 are e(x) = 8.45% and Var(x) = 25.The expected return and variance for stock 2 are e(y) = 3.20% and Var(y) = 1. Thecovariance between the returns is sxy = −3.a. what is the standard deviation for an investment in stock 1 and for an investment instock 2? Using the standard deviation as a measure of risk, which of these stocks isthe riskier investment?
